Rathergood Chat

Joel and Dave discuss the most wonderful creatures ever to exist - namely crabs. Rathergood, where all of this began back at the dawn of the new millennium, is in fact The Lair of the Crab of Ineffable Wisdom, and Joel is himself the Crab of Ineffable Wisdom - a gigantic crab with a human face, atop a gigantic pyramid surrounded by hordes of fanatical followers. Crabs have featured in many, many of their works over the years and so this is a subject very close to their crabby hearts. In addition to crabs, this podcast also covers (among other things) * The Margate Crab Museum* Meaty Steve, who sells carrier bags full of suspicious meat from round the back of the hospital* Oesophagal flesh centipedes* Squirrels
